Regenerative medicine: Targeting adaptor protein interactions for nerve regrowth

Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 16, 314 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrd.2017.85 Author: Katie Kingwell CNS neurons show limited capacity for spontaneous repair after injury, which hampers functional recovery in conditions such as stroke and traumatic brain injury. Now, a study in Neuron has shown that a small molecule, fusicoccin A (FC-A), promotes axon growth after injury in mice
